Following a cliffhanger ending in episode 7, viewers are left feeling frustrated regarding the relationship between Stede and Blackbeard.

After Ed and Stede's long-awaited union in episode 6 of Our Flag Means Death, followed by a subsequent falling out in the next episode, fans have expressed their frustration on Twitter regarding the dramatic shifts in the characters' relationship. While @cannibalsnplaid revealed a continued fondness for all the characters, they expressed a willingness to "give them a good slap" as well.

@chaoticmothy expressed their frustration about the breakup, stating that it didn't have an emotional impact due to Stede's behavior.

@2amCryptid referred to Stede and Ed's recent breakup as reminiscent of middle school behavior, comparing it to the actions of 14-year-old boys.

@snowsnose expressed a degree of skepticism regarding the recent cliffhanger in Our Flag Means Death. Initially labeling it as "contrived," they later acknowledged the possibility that it could be justified by Ed's desire to distance himself from the life of a pirate.

@ncutigatwas shared a similar sentiment. While they were let down by the manner in which the breakup occurred, they admitted, "I understand why it was necessary. Stede chose to flee and embark on a journey of self-discovery, while Ed was left trapped in a state of despair without ever having the opportunity to explore his own identity."

Our Flag Means Death Season 2 Has Tackled Whether Stede & Ed Are Good For Each Other

In Our Flag Means Death season 2, the compatibility between Stede and Ed is brought into question. Despite Stede's determination to reconcile with Ed and make amends after their breakup in season 1, Ed reverts to his cruel and reckless Blackbeard persona. If Stede hadn't found him, it is likely that his own crew would have killed him.

Although they reunite in the middle of season 2, Stede and Ed now face the challenge of wanting different things. Ed is ready to leave his life as a pirate behind, while Stede has finally gained respect and fame at sea. Despite Stede's newfound status influencing his ego, episode 7 reveals that Stede's love for Ed hasn't diminished. Interestingly, the unexpected approval of Izzy, who previously disliked Stede, suggests that maybe the central couple of Our Flag Means Death might actually be a good match.

The crew of The Revenge faces a grim situation in the season 2 finale of Our Flag Means Death. The Republic of Pirates is vulnerable following a siege by the Royal Navy, leaving them defenseless. Stede and Ed, who have been separated, are confronted with the possibility of a violent demise, causing distress among fans witnessing their separation during such a critical moment. The outcome of the finale will reveal whether they remain apart or find a long-awaited happy ending. Catch new episodes of Our Flag Means Death every Thursday on Max.
